btcSOL is now open to the public to earn native BTC by staking SOL or LST-SOL, providing an innovative way to participate in BTCFi.


Stake SOL, Grow BTC

At Zeus Network, the mission is to drive innovation and accelerate the integration of Bitcoin within the Solana ecosystem and beyond. After launching our flagship products, APOLLO and zBTC, we have firmly established our role as a leading infrastructure provider for developers to build Bitcoin applications on Solana and grow the Bitcoin economy.

Now, our second dApp has debuted: btcSOL, which enables users to stake SOL and grow BTC. btcSOL enables SOL or LST-SOL (Solana Liquid Staking Tokens) holders to stake their tokens and accumulate BTC by automatically converting a portion into Bitcoin based on the price index calculated by the system. Your staked tokens generate on-chain yield, automatically converting into BTC or zBTC.

btcSOL launches on July 17 as the first restaking token to accumulate in Bitcoin built on top of the Zeus Ecosystem. Solana Users deposit SOL or LST-SOL to mint $btcSOL, then hold it for 24 hours to accumulate their zBTC or BTC. They can consistently earn BTC while maintaining their original SOL or LST-SOL assets, providing a secure way to gain Bitcoin exposure while keeping their position in SOL or LST-SOL. This offers Solana users a streamlined, permissionless entry into BTCFi.

Marinade Enters The Court

Marinade, the first staking platform on Solana named in the first U.S. Solana ETF filing, has become btcSOL's first exclusive partner. As one of the largest LST-SOL by market cap, this partnership with Marinade will enable more Solana users to earn BTC yield and participate in the Bitcoin economy.

More strategic partnerships with leading LST-SOL providers will be unveiled in upcoming versions, expanding the ecosystem's reach and utility. These partnerships create more opportunities for users to participate in BTC yield generation while maintaining their SOL exposure.


btcSOL: Paving the Way for a Native Bitcoin Economy on Solana

btcSOL simplifies the integration of Bitcoin with the Solana ecosystem, enabling Solana users to accumulate native Bitcoin effortlessly while retaining their SOL or LST-SOL assets. This seamless approach makes btcSOL a cornerstone in Zeus Network’s vision: Accelerating the Bitcoin economy on Solana.

200% zBTC Boosting

Whitelist participants will receive double zBTC rewards for staking their SOL or LST-SOL during the first two weeks from July 17th to 31st after launch. The boosting rewards can be claimed starting August 1st.


Bitcoin Summer on Solana: More Bitcoin Applications on the Horizon

zBTC, the first permissionless Bitcoin on Solana, has been widely integrated across Solana teams and protocols, including btcSOL, Marinade, and Fragmetric. Together with other Bitcoin versions, BTCFi Summer has undoubtedly arrived on Solana.

As a key Bitcoin infrastructure provider, Zeus Network is at the forefront of driving innovation for Bitcoin applications. By facilitating the integration of zBTC, the native Bitcoin on Solana, Zeus Network is opening up new possibilities within the Solana and Bitcoin ecosystems.
